You can’t put 80,000lbs of sprinkler in a van. You can’t tow 80,000lbs of sprinkler with a van.

I can’t think of a switch you won’t ever need. I think the “sce to aux” story is a good example of when you need it you need it.

The motor could turn with the wheel. You could have a wheel-motor without the excessive unsprung weight of the motor components.

It still has corners that need to have a moving seal. This is a huge issue.

It’s pretty smart. It is like a wheel-motor but without all the unsprung weight.

They aren’t. Light ircraft now use touchscreens that you are supposed to use while bouncing around. They had a knob for a while but then it seemed touchscreens took over. With the knob you still had to look, it at least you didn’t have to aim at a bouncing spot on the screen.

Also make them illegal in aircraft! And spacecraft! Seriously stupid.

“remote workers never leave the office”

I’m using Google’s VPN now. They promised they won’t look. Honestly I think a lot.more is leaked via the GBoard keyboard, but what do I know.

Cooking oil decomposes into carcinogens. Especially low smoke point oils.

(Admittedly the increased risk from either is pretty low)

You are certainly much more knowledgeable about this than I.

In broad general terms:

Doesn’t the fluorine make them both effective and forever? Isn’t it difficult to create a lower energy state molecule than a compound of fluorine.

Is “forever” the problem?

The points you have brought up seem to be an issue with responsibile manufacturing more than the nature of the chemicals themselves. Seems like that should be addressed on a much wider discussion than just these particular compounds.

I was more taking issue with your Le Creux cookware than your induction hot plate.

They are refinery towns and you can smell things in the air.

Which one would be your first choice?

I don’t know that it is a good thing. It just means you can’t use baking soda to out it out.

That was my point to. I guess I wasn’t clear enough.

I do wonder if cooking in nonstick pans without oil is less risky than cooking with oil in conventional pans.

We stop all cars. Build nanomachines to cure cancer and enable cold fusion. Abolish capitalism . It’s all so easy.

Seems like cradle to grave pricing would address the issues you mention.

I even wonder what the benzene levels are in ambient air in a city like Bay City Texas or Texas City Texas.
